Distriction: Springing back from cy-bernating slumber

This weekend welcomed the Cherry Blossom Festival, DC's cultural introduction to Spring -- and the perfect way to wake from a late winter hibernation from the digital domain.


A brief greeting after my semi-extended stint away from the blogosphere. I took some time to rest and refuel my creative reserves -- similar to a bear's hibernation for the digital age, more tech and less time.


So, I'm back now: like Bipartisanship a la Britney ...



black ...



babies ...


Bush (W.) -- a la Barack ...


the sound of dot-com bubbles bursting ...


and dot-com bubbles broadening ...



Scientology -- a la Palin's people ...


bracketology ...


and those beautiful cherry blossoms.


A week (end) in review -- in case you missed it

Because I'm busy that's why

Like N.E.R.D. said "It's time for some action," so while I'm out studying the world in 4 minutes just know I've got the wiings to stay fly. Schoolwork, work work, life work: only work if you work them

In between inspiration: synthetic ...


and organic ...


I work hard now so I won't have to settle for situations involving Sarah later.

Though it's still not too late for her to employ my no-fail two-step plan: magazines and manners, remember them -- keep those in mind and it should be easy sailin' for Palin. As for where that tugboat is going exactly, I'm sure I don't know; but there's bound to be a loyal fleet of good ol' boats following.

Watch this space: Will discuss after I TiVo it ...

Bristol Palin: Why ya buggin?!

Oh. Right. The whole "my-mom-ran-for-vice-president-and-lost-and-all-i-got-was-this-baby-and-pending-child-support" thing ...


When life gives you lemons Bristol ... ask, "In what respect, Charlie?" ... then pass the baby to your little sister for grooming, and pre-game for the heli-hunt. By the looks of the new and improved lil' Miss Palin -- talking Pro-Choice, using logic, ending up on Keith Olbermann and not as the embodiment of evil -- it might be your last hunt.

Two thumbs fresh for Bristol. Her mom may not know politics, and I ain't sayin' she a gold digger, but Bristol knows Deepthroat: "Follow the money."

Levi Johnson: Levi's jeans and Johnson & Johnson?! oh ... he's broke. Figures, after all, Johnson & Johnson is "a family company," while Levi is on "Federline company" kind of time.

Well, either way, I don't know what 20% of zero is but after carrying ones and working out remainders Bristol is bound to be ... on the receiving end of the stimulus package -- doesn't seem so silly now, does it?

Watch this space: Bristol might be the one to pull through ... who knows she might even be able to name a magazine she reads

Dos and Don'ts of a Katie Couric Interview ft. Lil' Wayne and Sarah Palin

Politics could learn a thing or two from Pop -- like how to capitalize on a Katie Couric interview, and turn it into the pilot for "He Could Very Well Be Just That Into You."



Lil' Wayne says as a rapper he is like a journalist telling the news; obviously Wayne fared better than Palin with Katie because he too is a member of the "liberal elite media."





If all else fails: manners matter. Palin might have gotten a bit more leeway if she just softened up a bit to "Miss Katie."
